The cotton/elastic mix of Fixation offers easy care and gives the cover a snug but flexible fit.

Pattern can be adjusted to fit a larger book by adding additional border (non-illusion) stitches and/or deepening the spine.

In addition to the shadow/illusion knitting, the pattern features a contrast colour fold over flap and a geometric illusion/shadow knit spine.

Stitching in the Stacks also includes a 2nd book cover pattern that reverses the MC and CC colours and sends a different message.
